Formula Grant 2501MSOAFC

This $2,647,883 Formula Grant award from the Administration for Community Living (ACL) under the National Family Caregiver Support, Title III, Part E (CFDA 93.052) program provides family caregiver support services in Mississippi. The funding supports the delivery of information, counseling, training, respite care, and supplemental services to help family and older relative caregivers maintain the health and well-being of care recipients, with a focus on those caring for individuals with early-onset dementia and adults with disabilities.

The prime recipient, the Mississippi Department of Human Services, sub-awards portions of the grant to eight regional planning and development districts across the state to implement caregiver support services at the local level. These sub-awardees provide a range of services such as information and assistance, respite care, and other supportive services to the 60+ population in their respective service areas.
